  • Publication number: 20240126785
    Abstract: Techniques are described for preserving the inflight sessions failing over from a primary database to the replicated logical database of the primary database. In an implementation, prior to failover, when the primary database server receives a commit for a transaction, the process stores a commit indication that the transaction has been committed by performing a corresponding SQL command. The commit indication is replicated to the logical replica database by virtue of the replication of the SQL command and its execution on the logical replica database. Accordingly, the standby database server in the failover session may successfully request for the outcome of the transaction. Techniques are also described for the client-side LOB references to be preserved when failing over to the logical replica database, for AS OF queries preserved, and for versioning of checksums, signatures and structures across logical replicas.

  • Patent number: 4112118
    Abstract: Phosphate values can be recovered from an organic extract which is formed by contact of wet process phosphoric acid and a water immiscible solvent, in a process in which the extract is treated with an inorganic base or a dihydrogen phosphate salt to give an acid free solvent and an aqueous solution of phosphoric acid and phosphate salt with a cation to P usually in the 0.1 - 0.5 : 1 region. The aqueous solution represents a concentrated soluble phosphate source for subsequent neutralization and conversion to e.g. tripolyphosphates.
